This nice Memorial Day weekend was somewhat soured by some HFS+ shenanigans. The decision I made when I installed Snow Leopard to use case-sensitive HFS+ filesystem instead of the default case-insensitive flavor came back to bite me in the ass this weekend when I tried to install a certain Adobe software suite. The installer kindly informed me that I was shit out of luck if I was hoping to install it on a case-sensitive HFS+ partition.

So… fuck. Luckily I was able to copy everything I needed from my internal drive to my external drive, thanks to the many gigs I recently freed by converting some of my DVD rips. So the reformatting of my drive and reinstallation of Snow Leopard commenced. Now I'm now enjoying Adobe's wonderful software.

But c'mon, case-insensitive filesystems in this day and age??

The weekend wasn't all sour though. I found out that my bestest buddy from Great Lakes is going to the USS Mobile Bay CG-53. That just happens to be one of the seven ships that I have a possibility of going to myself. So now I at least have a pretty awesome ship to fall back on in the event that I don't get my first choice, the USS Antietam CG-54.

Lastly, I've decided that since I've learned the basics of Blender, I'm now going to shift my focus towards learning the basics of working with Unity. It looks like just what I need for my project. Unfortunately it doesn't seem very intuitive to work with, at least compared to Blender. Thankfully I've found a wealth of great video tutorials which'll hopefully get me up to speed on working with Unity.
